I Just realized a big flaw in the 3ds

Post by BlackDS »

uhh, I'm not going to be able to use it right, becasue I am left handed. On my 2DS, I use my left hand for the touch screen, but I dont think I will be able to do that since there is now A PSP nub on the left side too. :? :? :?

You need to quit that bad habit anyway. Left handers are dangerous.

Your mother is dangerous, being left-handed does not make me evil or anything.

Sinistral! Burn the witch! :twisted:

Unfortunately since most of the world is right handed, lefties get screwed on most complex devices. Something like a left handed pair of scissors is easy. Flipping everything inside a handheld and having to produce 2 versions is more of a pain. Some early arcade games were stick on the right, buttons on the left, then there were ambidextrous ones, then the switch to stick on the left. The SMS sticks, MadCatz XL, and (most) flight sticks are controlled with the right hand though. Just an observation.

*My mother and several friends over the years have been left handed
